I think most of the hate is for the way Torts uses him. I don't hate Brian Boyle. I just hate seeing Brian Boyle in places he doesn't belong, out on the ice when he shouldn't be there. If our centers are Stepan-Richards-Brassard-Boyle that is excellent center depth. If we have Boyle anywhere in the top 9 that weakens our offense. He needs to be our 4C faceoff/PK specialist for this team to be successful!
